In a word, charming. Join the small house revolution with this updated, efficiently redesigned home. Since 2016, the seller took the home down to the studs. Newer 2x8 construction, 8 inches of foam insulation, and drywall. All newer windows, electrical wiring, and plumbing. Newer propane forced air furnace and on-demand water heater. Newer septic tank and mound drain field. Newer stainless appliances. The seller also built a 1 1/2-car garage with a workshop area and storage above. Even the stairs to the storage area provide more storage! Also newer on the property is a separate building currently used as an office. This building is approximate 192 square feet with a small loft area for 72 more square feet. The 'Office' has electricity and a propane space heater. Let's explore the house. You'll enter through a small mud room into the cozy living room which is open to the kitchen and dining room. The living room features a pellet stove, built-in couch with storage underneath, and breakfast bar. The kitchen is efficiently laid out and features zinc counter tops (which are naturally anti-bacterial), a gas stove with overhead ventilation, and plenty of cabinet and counter space. The pantry cupboards are located under the stairs to the 2nd floor and they roll out on wheels for easy access. The dining room is beyond the kitchen and features sliding glass doors out to the wrap-around deck overlooking the back yard. The deck has a screened-in room that will be well-used in warmer months. Also on the main floor is a full bathroom with laundry and a deep tub/shower with subway tile walls, 2 bedrooms, and another mud room leading to the back yard. Lots of storage here as well. Upstairs you'll find 2 non-conforming bedrooms (lower ceilings and not connected to central heating' but stays plenty warm from heat from the 1st floor). The ceilings are finished with attractive, light tongue-in-groove boards. Also upstairs is a family room area with more storage under the knee walls and access to the unfinished attic space adding more storage. Access to the attic is via a cabinet on wheels that swings out. If you haven't guessed it by now, this house is designed to maximize the space. Let's go outside. Along with the wrap around deck you'll find a fire pit, chicken coop (chickens could be included if you like, address in purchase agreement), fenced gardens (including raspberries and strawberries), a tree house, a small zip line, a climbing wall, and a platform for the above ground pool (included). Attached to the garage is a greenhouse. Internet is provided by Baraga Telephone's fiber optic cable. Located mile from a public boat launch and fishing pier on Portage Entry, with access to Lake Superior. A quick 15-minute drive to Houghton and Michigan Tech. There may be bags of pellets for the pellet stove for sale. The previous offer fell through due to a home sale contingency not being met.
